are silver-white pruinose with mostly black pile on their antennal segments and ocellar triangle. Additionally, the two populations were found to possess differently shaped dorsal horn on their basiphallus (Fig. 2A, L). We argue that these character differences, along with the 3% difference in the DNA barcode between the two taxa, especially considering that the mainland population has little to no variation in COI even across distances greater than 3000 km, are significant enough to warrant separation into two distinct species.

. The male appears teneral as its exoskeleton is light brown in color. The female has a completely black pilose scutum and face along with a mixed pale and black pilose scutellum. These characters are not seen in another specimen of either species and may be indicative of a mutation. It is also is possible the female is teneral. Lending support to this hypothesis is communication with Russian
